No matter how hard we try, humans are many times very ego driven. Many things we do, we do them in order to help ourselves. We travel so we can see the world, we work so we can make money, we workout so we can stay fit. Many times, it has very little to do with anyone else.

Your level of fitness does not differ greatly. You workout so you can look and feel better. So you can stay active and so you can live a long happy and healthy life. All these things are great, but there is 1 problem, you should not be the focus of your fitness results.

If you sometimes struggle finding a reason to go to the gym when you just feel “too tired”, remember your fitness is for your family, both present and future. Remember that quitting on your workouts is not quitting on yourself, but on your friends, family, wife, husband, and children.

Many times I tell my athletes the 2 things I want them to be able to do in their 70’s and beyond is sit on the toilet without using a hand-rail and run and play with their grandkids.

The level of your fitness should be important to you, but remember that you are not the only one relying on YOU being fit. Those around you young and old are also relying on your physical wellness in order to allow THEM to live happy lives as well.

Goal setting is a task that cannot be taken lightly. Too many times we think up goals in our head but rarely take the right action steps in order to make them happen. When I set goals there are 3 key moves I make in order to stay on track and accomplish what I have set forth.

1) Write your goals in a notebook or create a vision board. By doing so you will give importance to what it is you want to accomplish.

2) Have Daily Methods To Success. These are the things you will do or not do every single day in order to help you achieve your goals. If your Daily Methods To Success do not align with your goals, your likelihood of success will decrease dramatically.

3) Eliminate those in your life/on your Facebook or twitter feed who are negative or who do not support your goals 110%. If you tend to be around those who are less ambitious than you or people who do not believe in you, their negativity will begin to rub off. “Friends” are supportive the rest can keep the negativity for themselves.

There are many more steps to creating, maintaining, and accomplishing your goals, but these 3 keys are of great benefit to anyone starting their goals process.

What other keys moves do you make when setting and accomplishing your goals? Let me know in the comment box below!

Incase you dd not know, I love to fish. There was a point in time when I was young I would tell people I would one day be a BASS Master professional fisherman. Great news is, my life is still young and I just might do it! But, until then, I wanted to relate something I love, fishing, to something we miss out on daily, opportunity.

Opportunity is around us everywhere, but we frequently miss out on it because we do not take the right steps in order to bring it into the boat. Here is a quick break down of opportunity in relation to fishing.

What opportunity have you taken advantage of lately? Where has it taken you?

Ok, so I sometimes faulter here myself, but I try hard and realize how important it really is! Knowing where you have been gives you a better idea of how to get to where you are going. Do you track your progress?
